1 (This is/I will now give) a list of the descendants of Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. They had many children after the flood.
Dette er Noas Sønner, Sem, Kam og Jafets Slægtebog. Efter Vandfloden fødtes der dem Sønner.

Javans Sønner: Elisja, Tarsis. Kittæerne og Rodosboerne;
5 Those sons and their families who were descended from Javan lived on the islands and on the land close to the [Mediterranean] Sea. Their descendants became tribes, each with its own language and clans and territory.

Og Kusj avlede Nimrod, som var den første Storhersker på Jorden.
9 Yahweh saw that he had become (OR, caused him to become) a great hunter. That is why people say to a great hunter, “Yahweh (sees that you are/has caused you to be) a great hunter like Nimrod.”
Han var en vældig Jæger for HERRENs Øjne; derfor siger man: "En vældig Jæget for HERRENs Øjne som Nimrod."
10 Nimrod became a king who ruled in Babylonia. The first cities over which he ruled were Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh.
Fra først af omfattede hans Rige Babel, Erelk, Akkad og Kalne i Sinear;
11 From there he went [with others] to Assyria and built the cities of Nineveh, Rehoboth-Ir, Calah,

så at Kana'anæernes Område strakte sig fra Zidon i Retning af Gerar indtil Gaza, i Retning af Sodoma, Gomorra, Adma, og Zebojim indtil Lasja.
20 Those are the descendants of Ham. They became groups that had their own clans, their own languages, and their own land.
Det var Kams Sønner efter deres Slægter og Tungemål i deres Lande og Folk.

Arpaksjad avlede Sjela; Sjela avlede Eber;
25 Eber became the father of two sons. One of them was named Peleg, [which means ‘division’], because during the time he lived, people on [MTY] the earth became divided and scattered everywhere. Peleg’s younger brother was Joktan.
Eber fødtes der to Sønner; den ene hed Peleg, thi på hans Tid adsplittedes Jordens Befolkning, og hans Broder hed Joktan.
